TL;DR
This study has extended the scale vocabulary to allow for the inclusion of practice-based perspectives on scale, and introduced "dimensions," used to describe the bare aspects of phenomena, such as time, space, and power, structured by scales and levels.

It is argued that while this is important if the results of projects like EBONE are to be usable in different contexts, there is a risk involved as it may lead to the alienation from the organizations and volunteers who collect the data upon which these projects rely.
